Jurors' Pledge: "I solemnly swear not to do research on the internet...": Judge considers exacting written pledge

The NY Times reported on September 18 that Federal Judge Shira Scheindlin is considering asking jurors to sign a written pledge that they would not do any research on the Internet during the trial. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/19/nyregion   (then search "juror pledge")

Prof. Stephen Gillers of NYU Law School was quoted as stating,"Judge Scheindlin apparently believes that the affirmative act of actually signing a specific pledge may more dramatically impress jurors with their duty and increase the likelihood of obedience.  I think she's correct.  It can help and certainly can't hurt."

I have read elsewhere that such admonitions may encourage some jurors to seek out the "forbidden fruit."
It's a tough call.
